AWESOME movie! Roy Scheider in probably the least likely role of his career, and yet he rocked it.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

So I watched Catfish tonight, and although, yes, it's basically about a sockpuppet, I found the way they handled and presented the story an unexpectedly thought-provoking look at how we relate to people online and in real life. It wasn't what I expected.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
every time I talk about "the first Star Wars blah blah blah" and he rejoinders, "You mean the fourth one?"
This is why I plan to keep Dylan as ignorant of the prequels as possible for as long as I can. Unfortunately, we no longer have a VCR and so will be unable to introduce him to the theatrical cuts of the originals.

Question for the Buffistas: what are your favourite movie title/credit sequences? The ones which begin the films, not the ones which end them.

My favorite title sequence is The Incredibles, but they're at the end of the film. (The Incredibles doesn't have an opening title sequence).
